LA MAISON DES ARTISANS
The craftsmen's house houses several associations of Koutiala. The most pleasant to visit are those who work cotton, since the region is a large producer:
AVOK, Koutiala Widows and Orphans Association: These women and children squeeze cotton by hand and then weave it into a larger or smaller band. It is possible to see them work, but also to try to make this delicate art.

Djiguia Association: This association carries out truly original bogolans throughout the country. Simple tables but also bags, purses and other scarves are part of the collection. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is possible to take a training of one or more days.
